I know this sounds made-up but it really isn't Naturally, it was the title of the article that caught my eye. It made laugh for about five minutes.

The minute I saw it I was like, "Hell yeah, that's DEFINITELY going to be a thread!" 😄😄

Mutant ‘super pig’ population spirals out of control in Japanese nuclear fallout zone

Domestic pigs escaped into abandoned farmland and began interbreeding with indigenous feral boars — creating a mutant pig population with alarming genes.

Seems like their main issue is rapid reproduction. Shoot, I was imagining Pigzilla stomping on Tokyo!

Didnt they have a bear problem recently? Turn the bears on to the pigs! Problem solved! No more missing hikers.

NOTE: The wild Boar in Australia have become quite proficient at long distance swimming.

Their downfall was reading a compass, Japan is North then slightly Westerly when they got past Papua New Guinea. When some of them were trying to get to the Solomon Islands, from Sydney (on the East coast of Australia) they were meant to go Due East then turn left just before they hit land.
It'd help if they new their left from their right.
Holding a compass and reading it was somewhat problematic.

@Anyanka Bunny Slayer this seems to become a problem in several places (including Murica). 🐗

'Teenage Mutant Samurai Pigs!'


...Sorry, just the first thing that popped into my head. That, along with some kind of Godzilla scenario, where he has to fight Hogma, the Giant Nuclear Pig.

This made me think of the Thorn Birds, when Stuart Cleary was killed by a wild boar. 😕

Really must read that book again.

I feel a new Marvel spin-off looming...🤣

'Hogma, the Giant Nuclear Pig.

That would make a great screen name. Oooh, just imagine the avatar I could use!

After all, Hogma IS a Whedonverse character. I saw him help the Scoobies fight the First! Don't you guys remember that part?

 

[thetopher]

Hogma was the pig who escaped Andrew's sacrificial knife! He returned to help the Scoobies in their hour on need!


As he told Buffy 'Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.' And there he was, leading the charge.

All hail Hogma, the Giant Nuclear Pig!!

For the record, he was actually on his way to join Team Angel in that dark alley. But he ate the cabdriver before reaching his destination. He was never one for social graces. 😄

That is so bizarre! Lol!
